no the tire isn't the problem, the size of the rim and offset is. 9 +35 that sticks out quite a bit. i have a feeling that it might rub a little bit. if anything i don't think it will rub terribly but you might experience some rubbing, specially if you lower your car quite a bit

i've finally decided - FRONT - 19 x 8 offset + 38 with 245 / 35 / 19, REAR - 19 x 9 offset + 35 with 275 / 30 / 19 ( on tirerack they have this possiblity 245 on 19x8 and 275 on 19x9 ). i hope this setup will work w/o any rubbing, maybe our master of setups rominl will aprove ! thx.

haha first of all don't call me a master, i am far from that. it's just tons of hw done when i was shopping for hre, reading and drawing all the figures and doing all the math

on the setup, it will work as in terms of width and offset, though they definitely are very conservative. that's equivalent to 8.5 front 42 and 10 rear 47, compared to what i call optimal 8.5 front 35-38 and 10 rear 42-44. you be the judge

but it will look much better than stock, especially after installing the L-TUNED suspension (springs/shocks) !
at least i'm happy that i can fit 245 on 19x8 front and 275 on 19x9 rear !!!
Now, how can i calculate the new speed value, considering i'll have 2 setups - front and rear ! is there any formula that uses front and rear values ?

oh of course it's a lot better man! and the tires will fit, though it's not perfect too, it will work.

speed? that's spec tires so your speedo is good, no need to worry about that
